Good luck with your surgery Skin!

Thanks Rnjs,

Day 2 of recovery in hospital now and definitely feeling more human. The first few hours were rough but I think that may have been due to lots of scar tissue from my band. Look forward to hearing how you go. :)

I got my surgery date!! October 15th!! Can't wait...I am so excited to begin this new chapter in my life. I am a revision from a lap band which I had on October 13, 2009....just over 4 years to the day. I will have the lap band removed and the bypass done on the same day.

Note to those about to start the liquid diet: add Benefiber to your shakes and other liquids.

It is amazing to me how many revisions are being done from Band to RYN Bypass. My Band has been loosened for 2 yrs (because of the acid reflux), but I also will have it removed at same time as Bypass. And, mine is within the month of 5 yrs of having the band. I feel like those 5 yrs could have been a little different if the Band had work as promised (just a little ticked about that). But, looking forward to all the focus needed to support this effort. Good luck to you on the 15th.

Why? Do protien shakes stop you up?

They have for me. No Fiber to move things along, if you get my drift. :-)

Thanks for the suggestion. I hadn't thought of it.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
